I don't
remember where I saw these first - but I can tell you with certainty they are
FABULOUS! These delightful little treats
are quick and easy to make and are sure to wow your guests! The smokiness of the bacon combines perfectly with the freshness of the asparagus and flavors the puff pastry too. It truly does illustrate that EVERYTHING is better with BACON. Cheers!
Ingredients:
Asparagus
Spears (depending upon how many you’re going to make. One spear per wrap)
Slices of
bacon – half as many slices as asparagus spears, i.e., 20 spears of asparagus –
you’ll need 10 slices of bacon
1 sheet puff
pastry – thawed and rolled out onto a floured surface
Salt &
Pepper
Egg wash
Directions:
Preheat oven
to 400 degrees.
Wash, dry
and trim the ends of the asparagus.
Using a
pizza slicer, slice the puff pastry into long 1/2” strips – cutting on the
longest side of the rectangle. Should be
able to get approximately 18 – 20 strips.
Cut the
bacon in half lengthwise. Twist/wrap one
slice of bacon around the asparagus spear in a corkscrew spiral manner. Next, wrap one slice of puff pastry around the
spear of asparagus and bacon.
Place on
baking sheet. After all spears are
completed, brush with egg wash. Sprinkle
salt and pepper over all. Bake for
approximately 18 minutes until they’re puffed and golden brown.
